A military drone crashing in eastern Poland has heightened security concerns along the country's borders with Ukraine and Belarus. The drone, found in a scorched cornfield in Osiny, appears to have been a decoy, potentially linked to ongoing European conflicts. The investigation reveals it was possibly damaged by explosives.

Poland remains vigilant following past incidents involving stray missiles. The deputy prime minister highlighted similarities between this incident and previous Russian drone entries into Lithuania and Romania. Speculation suggests a possible connection to U.S.-Russian diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict in Ukraine.

No injuries were reported from the explosion, which shattered nearby windows. However, the blast has intensified public anxiety about airspace security. The incident occurred as air raid alerts sounded across Ukraine's Volyn and Lviv regions, though no attacks were reported.
